Section: Software for Fluid Power Technology This part consists of technical notes or case studies describing software tools, which were developed or are commercially available to solve special problems in the field of fluid power technology. These technical notes should not exceed 1000 words and 5 illustrations.

Section: Readers Information This section includes:

• Completed PhD theses dealing with fluid power (author, title, organization, synopsis) plus new books concerning fluid power technology published around the world

Through the listing of PhD theses and habilitations worldwide completed, books published as well as prizes awarded, the International Journal of Fluid Power strives to keep its readers informed of new literature and scientific works. Names of authors, title, publisher, ISBN, date, abstract and in case of PhD theses, name of university and institute are desired. The abstract should not exceed 200 words. The Journal solicits your help in keeping the listing current by asking you to transmit conference and meeting information formally or informally by post, fax or email to  Monika Iantysynova, MAHA Professor Fluid Power Systems,College of Engineering, ABE & ME Purdue University,MAHA Fluid Power Lab, 3601 Sagamore Pkwy North, Lafayette IN 47904, USA, Phone: +1 765 742 12 13, Fax: +1 765 742 1217, Email: mivantys[mail-at]purdue.edu
